It's definitely between now and Friday.
Part of me is very interested but I'm concerned the keyboard may still suck. Might wait a while to purchase.

the 16-inch MacBook Pro delivers the best typing experience ever in a Mac notebook.
But I'm glad they finally got rid of that keyboard, now I can finally upgrade

Yea. For me the the base 16” would be just fine for me now.
wonder if they will come out with a 14” MBP to replace the current 13.3”
i want the 13”/14” for more portability.

Damn 100WH battery! Anything bigger than that and you can have issues carrying it on a plane because while the TSA will allow up to 150Wh Airlines can set lower standards and many do.

You’re tempting me, but I never liked the butterfly keyboards.
i will have to try out the 16” in person.
It’s almost time for me to replace my 2012 Mac Mini.

Trust me when I say that there are plenty of people that are glad the butterfly keyboard is gone.

I don’t feel comfortable going into details, but I will say this much - if you’re getting one of those MacBooks with the known display/keyboard issues, get AppleCare.
In case I didn’t make it clear, GET APPLECARE.

Not really needed since Apple covers the keyboard with or without AppleCare 4 years after purchase.

I worked with the displays and keyboards, but never knew if they were warranty units or not.
Ha, I wish!
Better that the stock climbs more than anything.
